Hi there!
looks like you got a good group of people here! I just put a deposit down for my little Ms. Orange (2015 SDR) and should be receiving it by the end of the month. Anticipation building up! From all I read it sounds like a fun bike with some special features like two wheel steering, auto brake etc.. hope mine doesn't have that!
The dealer actually said that the 2015 has quite a few modifications from the 2014 and, when I mentioned a decat, rotty, PCV, autotune etc. he asked me to really give it a chance as it is (maybe minus mirrors and rear fender) since it has a new map, free-er flow cat etc..
Any truth in that?
Anyway, I am S O L O O K I N G F O R W A R D to riding this!
Cheers everybody,
cubfoot (missing an L I guess)

Welcome and congratulations on your new bike.
I'm running in my 2015 1290SDR and it's a lovely bike - if you're as happy as me you'll have a great time.
Can't comment on the upgrades as I've changed the whole exhaust to the Akra, but the few miles I rode with the standard system I can say it sounds good (especially on the over run with SAS).. The headers were non particularly heavy but the cat and silencer were compared to the Akra.
